Writers: Stanley Kubrick; Arthur C. Clarke

From short story: The Sentinel by Arthur C. Clarke

Producer: Stanley Kubrick

Keywords: Sci-Fi

Pre-humans find a monolith on Earth, and start killing; the idea of weapons allow them to evolve to the next level. A million or more years later, present-day humans discover an artificial monolith situated on the moon. Then we cut to a spaceship with a supercomputer (HAL), and several human caretakers. HAL has a disagreement with the humans and plots to kill them, but is thwarted. The ship arrives at one of Jupiter's moons, and the lone survivor, Dave, evolves humanity to the next level. Difficult, slow moving science fiction of an unprecedented scale and scope. Definitely not for everyone. Won an Oscar for Special Visual Effects; received additional nominations for Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Set Decoration.
